Frequently asked questions
What are the runtime dependencies?
ROS 2 (Humble or Jazzy), Python, and uv. Docker is optional but recommended for quick deployment.
How do I debug the server?
Use the MCP Inspector via `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory /path/to/ros2_mcp run mcp_ros_2_server` to launch a debugging URL in your browser.
Can I call services with custom message types?
Yes, but you must source the package that defines the custom type before starting the server.
Where does historical topic data come from?
The `ros2_get_messages` tool retrieves past messages from the WiseVision Data Black Box, an InfluxDB-based alternative to rosbag2.
